Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 4)

[alebar14]

Just added Creative Gigaworks T40 !

I just bought it. What the hell! Thought going to save some money and buy Audio Engine A2 or A5 later on, but I can't be bother! I can't wait ! Anyway, I love the look of the speaker ! Sexy and fits in between.

I am just thinking to replace my wired Mighty Mouse. I am looking for between Apple Bluetooth Wireless Mighty Mouse OR Logitech VX Revolution. I do Graphic Design works most of the time. Not so much with gaming. Any suggestion ?

Plan to add Canon MP210 Multiprinter as well too! If I get Wireless Mighty Mouse, then the remaining USB hub can be connected to the printer later on.

I have the apple wireless mighty mouse and do not recommend it. The scroll ball on mine has stopped working (no matter how I clean it).

Get something else.

I was thinking about Logitech VX Revolution or Logitech VX Nano. The VX Nano seems sacrificing the ZOOM slide button over VX Revolution.

Get a trackball, it'll be the best decision of your entire computer life. I personally recommend the Kensington Expert Mouse (don't ask me wh it has 'mouse' in the name when it's actually a trackball!). I've been using one for the past 6 months & it's wonderful, much better than the Microsoft Explorer trackball I had before it & the Fellowes one I had before that.

I have the wired Mighty Mouse, and the exact same has happened with the scroll ball. Don't get it. Try pick up the regular BT Apple Mouse, I don't see the need for all the extra buttons on MM.

2.6ghz

You got yourself a serious desktop replacement, im waiting for benchmarks for the the penryn one.

The difference between 2.6 and 2.5 (or 2.4 for that matter) i minimal, almost non-existant. Definitely not worth the price they are asking for it, vary low value for the money.

finally got around to post my desktop.. nothing special, just have to go buy my mac keyboard tomorrow

Very nice and clean. I really don't get the obsession you all have with that screen saver tho. It's... well... ugly.

VX revolution, is, IMO, the best wireless mouse out there right now, bar none. I used to have one, and now my gf has one, and it's really fantastic.

Outstanding setup! I really, really like that. The mybooks look sweet together.

How are those speakers? Really interested in getting a pair for my dorm at school.

hehe, thanks for correcting him.

no one pays attention to that title.

edit: you'd think the pink light and candles woulda given it away...

 

[anti-microsoft]

For now, this is my setup;

iBook G3 300 MHz
160 MB RAM
3 GB HDD
CD-ROM drive
Mac OS X 10.3.9


It's not much, but it does everything I need it for.

And as usual, sorry for the bad picture.

3GB HDD! Woot!

i know, i think its silly how close together they are, i would go for 2.5 (for the heck of it, and the GPU RAM), but the 2.6 seems so tempting.

 

[alebar14]

Highly Recommended

How are those speakers? Really interested in getting a pair for my dorm at school.

I live in student hostel too. I would highly recommend to buy this to give consideration with other hostel mates.

This speaker gives me the perfect Highs and Mids, and the Lows is just enough to gives a bit of punch. (Don't expect a thumping "boom-boom-boom" Lows from this baby).

I buy this because personally I love listening music with a clarity. This is important if you don't want to miss certain instruments that plays in Classical or Jazz genre per se. I bought Klipsch GMX 2.1 and Logitech Z5500 before. They are awesome kit for playing games and watching movies, but their Mids are not clear sometimes.

Any music genres would do loud and clear with this speaker. I watched Michael Bay's The Island movie last night (especially the chasing cars part) and surprsingly it was loud.

So why don't you get yourself a try and if you think T40 is too loud, I would still go with Creative Gigaworks T20 too !

Okay. Thanks guys.

2.6ghz

It isnt worth paying 250 bucks at all. According to Macworld benchmarks, the 2.5ghz even beated the 2.6ghz in most tests.
